COSTCO has been told to “join this century” over several checkout policy problems.
A member has vowed to go to a rival retailer that they say is better in “all aspects”.

Unhappy customers have taken to social media to share their frustration with the retail giant.
One user complained of various checkout issues.
They said: “Hey @Costco are you ever going to join this century.
“No scan and go available, no self serve check out, and a 30 minute wait to have someone look at my receipt.”
They went on to recommend Sam’s Club or BJ’s Wholesale “since they have a much better check out process and more helpful people”.
And another customer even went as far as cancelling their Costco membership.
They fumed: “After 30 years I’ve cancelled my @Costco membership. Happy to report ALL aspects of my @SamsClub membership is better. #DontBeDuped.”
Costco has yet to respond to the complaints.
In September, the price of a Costco membership jumped from $60 to $65, while an executive subscription increased from $120 to $130.
The price rise sparked division – with some vowing they wouldn’t renew their memberships as a result.
But, bosses reiterated that the price rise was the first time the cost of a membership had increased in seven years.
VERIFICATION REQUIRED
In August, Costco began scanning membership cards at the entrance of stores and at the checkout area, but some claimed it happened to them more than that.
“The one time I went [to Costco] I got card checked entering, in a random aisle and at the register. WTH,” a shopper, Lucy, wrote in an X post.
Lucy also claimed that Sam’s Club did it better with only one ID check.
“Sam’s? Show card on entering and that’s it! And no register. Friendly,” she added.
Several others have agreed in recent months, saying Costco’s membership crackdown has made them “absolutely detest” going to the warehouse retailer.
Others warned that they’re “liking the company less” due to the move.
